Xiang Yang dived to the bottom of the sea and searched carefully.
This area with clear water and sand-covered seabed is a paradise for flounder.
There is a flounder buried every few meters under the endless beach.
While walking on the seabed, Xiang Yang accidentally stepped on a creature that buried itself under the beach and disguised itself as a piece of sea sand.
Xiang Yang didn't hesitate, he just bent down, grabbed the frightened flounder and threw it into the net bag.
In just a few minutes, Xiang Yang, who had excellent eyesight and could see the camouflage of the flounder as nothing, caught a full net bag of flounder, which was estimated to weigh at least 30 kilograms.
Flounder is not a very valuable seafood and does not need to be kept in a water tank. The flounder caught by Xiang Yang will be frozen in a freezer anyway, so he does not mind reserving living space in the net bag. He just wants to fill the net bag as much as possible.
When the net bag could no longer hold any more, Xiang Yang swam toward the surface.
"How is it, Brother Yang, did you get any catch on the seabed?" Everyone was upset by the scant harvest of the second sea fishing net, and many people were eager to dive into the sea to fish.
Uncle Xiang and Zhou Wang stood at the side of the boat and looked at the group of newcomers who were eager to try and smiled at each other.
How can diving fishing be so easy? This fishing method was eliminated as early as the 1980s and 1990s. There must be a reason why it was eliminated.
The resources on the seabed are very rich, but the fish are not dead. Taking huge risks and consuming a lot of physical energy to go into the sea, but seeing the fish but not being able to catch them, who would still insist on this way of fishing
"I guess there is nothing at the bottom of the sea at all." Uncle Xiang said to Zhou Wang.
"That's not the case. There must be fish and shrimp in such a clean sea, but the captain will definitely not catch anything." Zhou Wang said with a smile.
Uncle Xiang laughed and said, "Isn't that nonsense? Can you really catch fish by just going into the sea for a few minutes?"
Several old crew members smiled knowingly, they were sure that Xiang Yang would definitely return empty-handed.
"Of course there are gains." Xiang Yang untied the net bag from his waist, held the net bag to his chest with both hands and shouted towards the boat.
Uncle Xiang and Zhou Wang's eyes widened when they saw the bag of fish. The net was still under the water, and Xiang Yang had no way to lift the more than 30 kilograms of fish out of the sea. The people on the boat couldn't see what kind of fish Xiang Yang had caught, but it was certain that Xiang Yang had caught a full bag of fish.
"How the hell is this possible?" Uncle Xiang felt confused. You went to the sea for just a few minutes and caught a full net bag of fish? Were all the fish on the seabed so stupid that they lined up to get into your net bag
The young crew members recruited from Yanlong Village cheered loudly, "Catch! There are indeed more catches on the bottom of the sea."
"Help me first, let down a rope to help me pull the net bag up." Xiang Yang shouted to the deck. More than 30 kilograms is equivalent to the weight of a bucket of water. Xiang Yang never thought of climbing from the water to the deck with such a bag of things.
Immediately a crew member threw a rope under the boat.
When Xiang Yang climbed onto the deck, the crew on the ship were cleaning the bag of flounder that had been hoisted onto the deck with a thick rope in advance.
"So these are the flounders that just lie on the seabed and don't move. No wonder you, Xiaoyang, were able to catch so many so quickly. Are there many flounders down there?" Uncle Xiang asked after handing Xiang Yang a bottle of fresh water.
Xiang Yang took the water but did not drink it. "A lot, a lot."
Uncle Xiang's eyes lit up, "Is there over ten thousand catties?" Fish like flounder are not worth keeping in a water tank, and they don't take up much space in the freezer. If there are over ten thousand catties of frozen fish, it means a considerable income. Although this income belongs only to Xiang Yang personally, Uncle Xiang is also happy for Xiang Yang.
Xiang Yang smiled and said, "The bottom of this sea is a huge beach. The number of flounders living on the beach is so dense that it is impossible to count them by kilograms. You should ask whether there are more than 10,000 tons."
"Over 10,000 tons?"
"hiss!"
There was a sound of gasps on the deck, and everyone was shocked by the huge number of ten thousand tons.
"Look at your lack of ambition. You are frightened by a school of flounder. If you encounter a school of yellow croaker one day, won't you be scared away?" Xiang Yang continued to put the net bag on his waist and joked, "Those who are willing to go into the water with me to catch flounder, go change into diving suits now. I will give everyone a bonus of 1,000 yuan when we return. Those who don't want to go into the water can help on the deck to use ropes to take the net bag down and clean the catch."
"I'll go down."
"I'll go down too."
"Brother Yang, give me the diving gear."
…
When they heard that anyone who went into the water would receive a bonus of 1,000 yuan, all the crew members became excited and rushed to get the diving equipment. Even Uncle Xiang and Zhou Wang joined the competition.
In the end, a total of sixteen people including Xiang Yang chose to go down to catch flounder. Xu Fang remained in the cab as usual, and only four people were left on the deck to help clean the catch.
The four crew members who were left on the deck began to sigh.
Xiang Yang did not play favorites. "We must leave a few people on the deck. Next time there is such an opportunity, I promise to let you go to the sea first. This time, when we return, I will give you a red envelope of 200 yuan as usual."
After hearing what Xiang Yang said, the crew members who were left on the deck felt better.
Xiang Yang had some secrets that could not be exposed. He jumped into the sea with the crew but did not move with everyone. Instead, he chose a direction and swam away alone. After swimming a certain distance and making sure that the crew behind him could not see him, Xiang Yang suddenly accelerated and turned into a white wave and swam towards another sea.
Soon, Xiang Yang swam out of the vast underwater beach and reached a new sea area.
This is also an area of sea that has not been visited by humans. The seawater is still very clean and clear, and various beautiful marine fish live among the lush seaweed.
The seabed terrain in this area is mountainous, the water is very shallow, and the sunlight is extremely strong. The light is refracted on the seabed, instantly presenting a colorful and charming scene.
Xiang Yang was walking in this underwater "jungle", stepping on the shellfish that could be seen everywhere on the seabed, but his eyes were attracted by the beautiful appearance of a white cloud-like creature emitting a milky white light.
"I didn't expect to see coral." Xiang Yang looked carefully at the white cloud-like creature. Its name is bubble coral, a soft coral.
Most corals like strong light and usually live in seas with strong light. Bubble coral is a very interesting type of coral in the coral family. In strong light, it will bloom like a cloud, showing its extremely beautiful side. But once darkness falls, it will quickly deflate and become a coral with only skeleton left.
